Contemporary Version: Turn Down the Sweetness

Two contrasting adjustments of the same shabby chic space. The left side is the original version from the 2000s: abundant pink, dense rose prints, lace covering every surface, and layers of ruffles, resulting in a very high sweetness level. The right side is the contemporary adjusted version: the framework is completely identical—distressed white painted furniture, slipcovered sofa, crystal chandelier, and stacked textiles are all still present, but pink is reduced to only one or two very faint accents, rose prints appear only on two throw pillows, lace is almost eliminated, and ruffles are only retained on the hems of the sofa and bed; instead, there are more plain white linen and off-white textural variations. The overall feel shifts from sweet to soft. Avoid: making the two look identical, removing the distressed look and slipcovers together in the contemporary version, changing the room's layout and furniture arrangement, making the contemporary version minimalist.

同一個破舊復古風空間的兩種調校對照。左側是二零零零年代的原始版本:大量的粉紅、密集的玫瑰印花、蕾絲鋪滿每一個平面、荷葉邊層層疊疊,甜度很高。右側是當代的調校版:骨架完全相同——白漆做舊家具、鬆套沙發、水晶燈、堆疊的織品都還在,但粉紅減到只剩一兩處極淡的點綴、玫瑰印花只出現在兩個抱枕上、蕾絲幾乎取消、荷葉邊只保留沙發與床的下擺;取而代之的是更多素面的白亞麻與灰白的質地變化。整體從甜變成柔。避免:讓兩者看起來相同、在當代版把做舊與鬆套一起拿掉、改變空間的格局與家具配置、把當代版做成極簡風。
